Buying a Tesla… (in hindsight) 

feels like an official tesla add

It is hard to go back. A few warts but no deal breakers. Nearly 50000km for us over 2 Model 3s. Nice presentation style by Andy Slye as well

All of your videos are awesome Ryan - love your work - your contribution is awesome! I recall the first Tesla (and first EV) drive I ever had, vividly. Fast. Exhilarating. Smooth. Like nothing I'd ever experienced. Two years owning a Model 3 and every single drive is still a huge pleasure. I heard a reviewer say that the only thing they regretted about buying a Tesla was that they didn't do it sooner - that pushed me over the edge and I just can't believe how phenomenal Teslas are.

I recently test drove one. Best experience. I was smiling in the first 2 seconds. After parking it. I said to the tesla guy, what everyone says is true. My next car is 100% going to be a tesla.

We're getting our Model Y in Quicksilver today. We were looking to get a new car and had been test-driving different options. We had almost decided to buy another brand, but we wanted to keep an open mind and test all the cars in that segment. I didn’t think I would like it at all, and my girlfriend hated how Teslas look. But after the test drive, we parked the car, looked at each other, and agreed: we’re taking it. It was an incredible experience.

I’ve had my Model 3 Performance for 5 days now, couldn’t be happier with my purchase! The great info and experiences shared on channels like this one were critical in my purchase decision. Thank you for the work you do!!

Bought our M3 3 years ago. Unless someone brings out something far better than Tesla cannot see us ever moving to another brand!

We didn't think we'd own a Tesla, but now we're a 2 MYLR family. From 2 Volts (2013&2017) to 2 MYLRs.

I love my Tesla M3 LR. A year of ownership now, with many more to come.😊

I agree with everything you said in this video! The first Tesla I drove is the one I also bought!😅 A 2019 Model 3 Lr and I’m loving it!

Good vid so you like Tesla right the inside is really nice

I ordered one here in the us. its coming the 13 of this month. im so excited

Well done Ryan! 100%. 1 yr in ours, would never go back to ICE, and there would have to be something very, very compelling to get me to jump to another EV brand for the foreseable future!

tesla for the win!

Picked up my new model 3 long range last week in Melbourne. I was living overseas for a few years driving an old school Yaris, great car but man, everything about the Tesla driving experience is just so good. All the small touches come together so nicely like unbuckling your seat to put the car into park, and the big things too like how easy it is to schedule service appointments in the app and how smooth the delivery experience is. All that before even talking about actually driving which is such a blast although I do miss the indicator stalks sometimes!

Hi Ryan, great to see you are still producing these nice video clips. My Red model 3 LR is nearly 3 years old and 55,000km, and am still loving it. There are newer electric models coming from other manufactures like Xpeng. However these new models have quite serious software issues and also tend to be heavy. This is where Tesla really is way ahead as they have been in the EV world for over 15 years now and have solved all these issues long ago.

I think that’s your best video yet Ryan. Somebody maybe knocking on your door wanting to use it.😉 Andy was also one of my info sources for the decision whether to buy or not to buy. At the time we couldn’t test drive due to lock downs. I’m also very tall and a lot of cars don’t fit. But after watching RU-vidrs and an hour long phone conversation with a Tesla rep we bought it. M3 LR blue with white interior. We’ve called him Elvis and you’re right. You cannot compare them to a normal car. We love him. 🚙💨💨

Richie Ryan Remembers Recent Requisition

I prefer a long drive in my Ford Fiesta 2012 than my 2023 Tesla MY. It has cruise control you can click on, off, up, down, coast, resume - with a thumb swipe. I use cruise control on literally every stretch of road at every speed, and it's second nature muscle memory. In my Model Y, I have nothing like that, I always have to use the accelerator to maintain a speed. I very occasionally on a flowing freeway decide to give autopilot oneeee more chance, only to have the brakes slam on within 5 minutes cos the camera saw a shadow, or there's a speedsign pertaining to an on/off ramp that I'm not on that gets picked up and changes the fricken cruise to 70 down from 100 in traffic which is sick. Anyway, Model Y needs just a dumb cruise control, it's SO much better than autopilot.

Totally agree. I’m very much the same.

Congrats on 100k! I remember watching your first videos, good on you mate!

I drove my first Tesla, which was the Model Y. It was not very smooth-it was okay. I have a Touareg, and compared to that, the interior of the Tesla Y looks plain and empty. The seats were okayish compared to my car, but I like the idea of less servicing and home charging. I still have range anxiety, as I drive around 60,000 km (or 50,000 miles) per year, which is roughly 160 km per day for work, every day. I would want to own a Tesla Y with the seats that the Tesla Model 3 (2024) has, and a better interior. The range of the basic Model Y with 455 km, which I think is not achievable, makes me want to buy the Model 3 instead. I will wait until 10.10.2024 to see what they announce and decide based on that. If somone who uses Tesla can help me out, I will be greatful, the most I worry about winter conditions if I take the RW model Y.

I would never go back to ICE either, I felt all the things you did on your test drive, but what did it for me was when I got back into my ICE car, it felt like a noisy dinosaur. I don’t miss any switches or dials, or stalks - they’re just not required.

Amazing video🎉🎉🎉 I 10000% agree with you Ryan 🎉You the best with tesla videos 🎉🎉🎉

Couldn't agree more Ryan, thanks so much for this video! You've helped so many people buy Tesla's and make decisions on them!

Great interviewer.

I agree with you 100% mate.

Very good vlog ... Thanks

The Model 3 and Y are the best cars I have ever owned.

Pick up my Model Y next week.

I am meeting more people who avoid Tesla due to Elon factor. Bit sad for the brand in a way. At least we know "he does not care". And, don't think humanity will run out of mobility options. Aslo funny to see Polstar adds preceeding your videos - all with an authentic swedish voice over. Just like all the employees at Geely.

So, you created your own Tesla ad, yh?

Wow what an interview!! Quick question… who asked the questions??

If you were to not have a tesla at the moment, but wanted to get one, preferably a MY for the size and usefulness (curret ICE SUV is becoming expensive to maintain)in the next couple of months - would you get the latest Model 3 and compromise on not having the MY for the latest design etc, or get the latest MY and be happier albeit knowing the value will drop if they release the redesigned one next year, or even get an older MY or M3 (2022+) so there is less drop in value? Everyones thoughts is appreciated please! Very conflicted 🥲🥲

The cars are incredible. However Elons very questionable involvement in things outside of cars and technology is a huge distraction from the appeal of the car. I really feel uncomfortable with Elons humanity position and the dispersions this casts on the brand😢

Yippee

I reckon this guy gets paid by Tesla

It's hard to want to buy a Tesla when the CEO is a nutjob.

lol that explains it! you worked for apple! shit phones sorry! but all jokes a side Tesla are great cars but they aren't for me. I don't look only having a centre screen which controls everything.
